Libra
Rather than taking the form of a living thing, the Libra constellation is in the shape of a set of scales.
These scales are thought to be held be the goddess of justice, Virgo, which is the constellation directly next to Libra.
Ancient Greeks imagined that Libras stars were the claws of Scorpius, another neighboring constellation.

Hydra

It is the largest constellation, stretching more than a quarter of the night sky.
Despite its size, it is hard to define Hydra, because of its lack in stars. Apart from the 5 stars that mark its head, the remainder of the stars aren't very noticable.
Ursa Major

Ursa Majors seven brightest stars form the shape of a saucepan, which is popularily known as 'The Big Dipper'.

It is very easy to find because its 4 brightest stars form a square called 'the Great Square of Pegasus'.
